After updating the sources this is the output of uname -a FreeBSD lazlar.no-ip.biz 10.0-STABLE FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #1 r264763: Tue Apr 22 22:56:11 CEST 2014 root@lazlar.no-ip.biz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TRAPPER amd64 Before updating, I had something from mid January this year, and sometime between then and what I'm running now, urndis obviously has been included. Anyway, my problem is now solved. And once again I apologise for my previous top postings. I had no internet connection on my computer (I live in the middle of nowhere, and I have no landlines of any kind, neither phone nor internet, but strangely I have excellent 4G connection, hence the need for USB tethering), and was posting from my phone. The mail client I use on my phone wouldn't allow me to post properly. Rolf
